Hi just wondering if these lights would be ok to put in my 1995 fto? I've been reading all the stuff about the light and i'm getting pretty confused on what to use etc. Just wanna know if these will be ok.

Thanks

donno about those, but i guess they should fit and all.

a suggestion though:
what about a proper HID upgrade? there was a GB for them a while back (ermm... i think half a yr ago), quite a few ppl got them and it's apparently an easy DIY.
I bought them in the GB but still havent gotten aroudn to putting them in yet

look in the Group Buy section if u want more details about them, think a few ppl have posted up photos with them in as well (i think it's in the general section, search for it

)

HB3 and HB4 sound right for dipped beam and High beam. Wedge bulbs look like the ones I used for my park lights, T10 from memory.

B0rep's right about the HID though. I tried a set of Philips bluevision in mine (cost me $70) and was dissapointed with them, so I got 8000k HID's on the group buy and they kick ass. Easy to install too.

They're a bit more purple than the pic suggests, but they're bright as. No probs from the fuzz either, even when they checked over my car on 2 occasions

Very happy with em.

BTW, I haven't forgotten about that copy of the Cruise vid for ya, I've tried e-mailing it but it says the file's too big. If your going to the cruise on Sunday I'll bring a copy on disc for ya...

I second going for a HID kit...
The difference in visibility is unreal and it gives the car a much more "classy" look at night... Well worth every $$

Those ebay bulb are crap.

Basically if you want to get the same look, just cover your existing bulb with blue tint and you will get the same "HID effect"

Remember, with the HID, after 4200k, the higher the K rating, the dimmer the lights gets and the more whitetish, blueish or purplish colour gets too.

I wrote a few "article" on this already, do search if you're b.ored (dam stupid Bens big penis)
